THROWBACK: CRS – “Us Placers” – Dir. By Va$htie (2007)

Oh man, I can’t believe it’s been about 5 years since I directed this gem. So much can happen in 5 years. This video will never get old to me and the way it all worked out was just perfect fate. I had no idea this little passion project would explode…
